I agree that a President’s daughters should be off limits to the press, but Obama shamelessly and repeatedly drags them into controversial issues. He invites public scrutiny of his little girls just for perceived gain in a political debate on “women’s issues." Personally, I do not WANT to know the President’s thoughts on his daughters’ immodest dress or how he views their prospects for using morning-after pills, or how they'd handle unplanned pregnancies. While the issues are certainly fair subjects for public debate, personal practices are p-r-i-v-a-t-e.

Most Americans agree with the “off limits” rule for a President’s children. It cheapens the dignity of the office and the First Family when the President disregards that rule to suit his political whims. If only the First Couple could abide by their own rule themselves.

"A nation can survive its fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable for he is known and he carries his banners openly. But the traitor moves among those within the gates freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears no traitor; he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their garments, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation; he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city; he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared." — Cicero, 106 BC-43 BC
